The object of the present invention is to produce a woven basket with handle surpassing all existing types of baskets in strength and accuracy of finish. The basket may have any desired form.

the bottom of the basket is formed.

1 are corner stakes or posts and attached to the bottom 3 by means of flexible angle-irons. The bottom may be solid or woven or executed as a frame accommodating an inserted hottom. By changing the forms of the angleirons 2 any desired width or shape may be given to the upper part of the basket. The flexible angle-irons supporting the corner posts are rigidly connected with the bottom and the battens 4 if it has'been found necessaryto use the latter underneath. In the modification shown here screws 5 have been provided for this purpose. If the bottom does not consist of a solid metal plate but of 3O woven material and the like, the flexible angle-irons supporting the corner posts are executed as stays extending from corner to corner, 6 are stakes extending vertically through the entire height of thebasket. The stakes can be made from any suitable material and pass through the solid bottom 3, whereupon their ends projecting beyond the outer surface of the bottom are interwoven and bent around the last strand to produce the rim 7 The handles consist of a curved member 8 whose two bent ends 9 and 10 are inserted in the wall 11 ofthe basket. They are provided P with perforations 12 through which at least one stake 6 extends through the entire height of the basket so that the handles are directly and rigidly connected with the bottom and lower rim of the basket. After having been thus connected the handles are covered by weaving suitable material around them. To
